I think that when you chose to ‘upload pattern’ you select “mini challenge” from the drop-down menu option on the upload page. For example, instead of selecting “skirt”, you would select “mini challenge”. I was a little confused at first too!!

On your regular Creation Upload Page, MiniChallenge is one of the categories. Good luck!

Hi, You post your creation as usual, into the creations gallery, but instead of putting it in the category of Skirt, put it in the category: MiniChallenge Entry, which will show when you pull down the drop down menu.

Where is it that we post our creations? I can’t find anywhere.

I actually printed this pattern for my friend last week but she lives out of town so I’m not able to take measurements and buy fabric right now. Maybe if I go visit her soon I can get it done in time.

Cool a love a challenge. I’m also hoping I can get something together in time.

This idea is great! I hope I can get the skirt done in time as well.

yayaya! I’m so excited! And mom’s visiting so maybe I can get some new fabrics (instead of dismantling old stuff from my infamous box under the bed!!)!
